ok, we've made a step here. now keep going! if not keeping booze in the house is the sign of an alcohol disorder, not keeping food in the house would be a sign of coping with an e____g d_____r? (fill in the blanks)

so she's recognized the problem and is coping with it what's the issue then?

does she need therapy?

i think the essential obesity of goons has distorted the conversation by classifying meals you intend to prep later as "snacks" but when people don't live alone as in with other people or even children it's often extremely handy to keep a variety of foods on hand. storing this food is one of the alternative uses of a kitchen imo

im sure if she tries really hard she can find a boyfriend who would accept her weird, unhealthy coping mechanism. until then she's going to face distress in her interpersonal relationships and potential roadblocks in forming a household with other persons

like imagine if someone else moves in and isn't cool with eating the same meal every day. who would compromise first?

people should grow and develop and improve themselves always but at the same time no one is perfect and acceptance of a partner's flaws is arguably the point at which love really starts. There's always going to be something to get hung up on and at some point you need to just say "that's who this person is and I love them anyway."

also stop trying to get your NEET friends who treat you bad to improve just find friends who are better to you

I mean she literally says to him that she can't not eat snacks if they're about?

from the comments posted:

For example, I've seen her mix a couple of condiments on a spoon to eat as a "snack" when she gets a craving and actually feel guilty about it.

That is textbook compulsive eating.

Girl has a disordered relationship to food that she has learnt to control in a reasonably healthy way. Unfortunately her method is contingent on having total control over the contents of her kitchen, which will cause problems if she has to cede some of that space to her boyfriend when he moves in.

My (28m) wife (26f) of 5 years is going to Florida to visit a friend she had cyber sex with.
submitted 2 hours ago by kosskronos

My wife of 5 years is planning to go down to Florida to visit a friend (24f) who she calls her sister, but they've had cyber sex together online. My wife is also planning to take our kids (5y M) and (8 month old, m) down to Florida too. We live in Connecticut, so it's a distance. Now I do not feel comfortable with this trip because of the acts of cyber sex, and on multiple occasions. Also she is taking the kids clothes and their car seats and a pack and play for the baby. The clothes she is taking currently do not fit either child. But she claims that there is a place she can exchange the clothes for one that do fit. After all this though, my biggest concern is that she is planning to stay in Florida, and not tell me. I am at a loss right now on what too do. I've messaged her and voiced my concerns. I am at work atm, so I am waiting for her reply.

Tldr: Wife is going to Florida and I'm afraid she won't come back.

this one is hella long so here's the link and the most relevant paragraph

https://www.reddit.com/r/relationships/comments/63szzt/my_32f_new_boss_late_30sm_of_4_days_told_me_to/

quote:

My [32/F] new boss [late 30s/M] of 4 days told me to put my hand on a cutting board and played "five finger fillet" with it

Tonight he told me to put my hand on my cutting board with my fingers spread. He took a large chef knife and began to play "five finger fillet" with my hand, increasing the pace of the knife stabs as he went. He didn't end up going too fast and was holding the knife handle between two fingers, but there was enough force behind it that if he had missed his mark I would have bled. The other two people on our shift [27M-33M] laughed and said they all had to go through it, as though it was an was an initiation. This didn't feel like I was being initiated into anything, though. I didn't pull my hand away because I was afraid it would seem contrarian, and I was more afraid of upsetting Daniel than I was afraid of getting cut. I don't know if I'm overreacting by feeling pretty scared and stressed.


also as someone who has worked in kitchens I would absolutely refuse to do this, call the person a loving retard, tell them they are loving their chef knife up, and that if they try to fire me about it i'll report their idiot rear end to the labor board and OSHA

Having a stocked pantry is awesome, it means I can just cook whatever I feel like whenever I want and only need to pick up 0-2 things from the store.

Yeah she is for sure leaving him. If it was just her I could see just staying at work and letting her go because it's over anyway, but if she is taking the kids it could gently caress up any custody negotiations for him for them to already be with her in another state. He must really be.in denial to be posting on reddit instead of leaving to go get his kids.

Still going, huh?

I [25F] have never seen my bf's [27M] butt. Dating 3 years. (NSFW/ Trigger warning)

quote:

u/concernednconfused
Pretty much what the title says.

I'm not trolling, serious replies only.

Dating for 3 years, have lived together for 2. During this entire time I have actually only seen his butt once when we were in missionary and there was a mirror on one side so I got a glimpse. This was very early on in our relationship I had no idea it would become such an issue. (First 2 weeks of us dating)

Since the mirror incident I have literally never seen it. Every time we have sex he is very careful about getting out of bed or putting on underwear in such a way that his butt is not in view. Once I saw it through a shower curtain and he was annoyed.

He's in shape so he has a nice butt. ( I would imagine based off of that one time 3 years ago)

I have asked about it only a couple of times, and I have expressed that it bothers me. When I do bring it up he acts like I am crazy and that I have seen his butt. I don't want to push the issue because I think there is an underlying problem.

He had a really hard time growing up. Very unstable environment. I am concerned he was sexually abused. I have gently asked if something had happened to him and that's why he doesn't like to expose his backside. He acted insulted that I would even think that.

He does allow me to be big spoon sometimes or to lay behind him and rub his back. One time recently I accidentally touched his butt with my knee, kind of in the center, and he jumped and got very angry with me. I told him I was just moving closer and he dropped it but was still upset the rest of the day.

My only other thought is that it is possibly a cosmetic issue. He sometimes get a weird rash and also it is kind of hairy, but not in an irregular way.

I am really concerned about him. I feel like if something did happen then I would hope that he talks to a therapist. I am at the point that I don't know what to do. I don't want to push the issue but I don't think his behavior is healthy. What can I do to help him? How can I approach this issue with him in a constructive manner? I know that this isn't my problem and the real issue is not about me seeing his derrière and more about getting him help if he was sexually abused as a child. (I know for a fact that he has never spoke to a professional about his life/childhood)

tl;dr: I have never seen my boyfriend's butt. I am concerned that he was abused as a child and I would like for him to see a therapist. Don't know how to approach this with him.

EDIT: Hey everyone! I know it's super weird! He is not into showering together, I have tried, and he will kick me out of the bathroom or get out of the shower. When he changes he ALWAYS changes facing me. And I have asked probably 6 times in 3 years but his response is so negative I have no idea what else to do
